Merge Patient is a FHIR Operation.
This operation needs the Patient.link.other field populated with an Identifier so the non-survivor Patients can be located. There may be more than one set of Identifiers and each will be merged (if they represent more than a single non-surviving Patient). See an example of linking the non-survivors here.
